Introduction to Supporters

In This Article:

This section covers the basics of managing supporters and groups. A supporter is a person's record in your Engage account.

Supporters Tab

To navigate to the Supporters Dashboard, click Supporters in the navigation to the left of the window. The Supporters tab will appear with focus on the Supporter Dashboard.

The Supporter Insight enables you to see some overview information regarding the number of supporters in your account as well as their sources. You can also manage Groups, Imports, Exports, and Supporter Queries from the Dashboard.

Add or Import New Supporters

Supporter Insights

In the center of your dashboard, you will find Key Metrics. You can see them for the past 30 days, 90 days, or year to date.

Total Number of Supporters is the total number of people who have been added to your organization's audience within the given time-frame. They may have been added via a sign-up page, a fundraising page, petition, or via import.

Source displays the origins of your supporters displayed in a pie chart by number and percentage.

Supporter Search

At the bottom of the page is a list of all supporters in a table format. The table's columns include name, location, and source of each supporter. The rightmost column contains a link to open that supporter in a new browser tab.

Sort Supporters

This list is sorted by default in reverse chronological order. The names at the top of the list are the most recent additions to your database. If you'd like to re-sort the list by any of the grey column headers, click once on the column header. For example, click on Zip Code to sort the list by postal code in ascending order (an up arrow indicates this). Click again to resort the list in descending order (down arrow).

Search Filters

Focus on the supporter records you want to see by using filters. Use the filters to reduce the number of records displayed. These filters are "sticky"—they remain during your entire Engage session until you log out.

The Search field—located above the list of supporters—allows you to select supporters for your list using specific keywords you type in. Keyword searches only search through the first or last name or email fields. For example, you could search on 'gmail' to find all supporters with a gmail address or search on 'jones' to find every supporter named Jones.

The Filter By Source field—to the right of the search field—allows you to select supporters who were added to Engage by...

Manage Imports Tab

The Manage Imports tab displays a clickable list of all your imports. In addition to listing your Imports, you may also import supporters from this tab.
